they agree with that much as president ronald reagan and speaker tip o'neill agreed with the very same notion back in 1982 and 1983. the numbers weren't adding up long term for social security, and something had to be done. and some painful decisions had to be made in the early 1980's. and to this day we thank god for president ronald reagan and speaker tip o'neill for having the bipartisan courage to do the tough things to make the tough decisions and adjust an important program so that social security has been saved for the past three decades. we need that kind of statesmanship out of the white house today. frankly, we need that kind of leadership out of the white house. you know, we're calling for bipartisan action. i think it's worth noting -- and it pains me to say this -- for the first time in 92 years we are considering a budget without seeing a plan from the president of the united states. he announced just last week that he was just going to wait in sending us his budget plan. it will be two months late by the time it arrives, according to the president's own timetable. in fac

[applause] these were the words of president ronald reagan in his first inaugural address. many others have been quoted, but as a governor, i love those words. i love those words right now more than ever because they should remind us all across america that real reform doesn't happen in our nation's capital, it happens in our statehouses all across this great country. [applause] i mean, think about it. back in the 1990s in my state with tommy thompson or across the lake with john endingler, welfare reform happened in the states. newt gingrich finally got bill clinton to sign it into law a little bit later. you go all the way back to the early 970s when ronald reagan wasn't the president, but the governor of california, and tax reform happened in that state. and it wasn't until later, ironically back in california, when ronald reagan as the president signed into raw the economic recovery -- into law the economic recovery act. real reform happened in the states. as was mentioned yesterday, there are now in america some 30 states that have republican governors and nearly as ma

under ronald reagan, our economy grew 20.1% in the first 14 quarters. under this president, our economy has grown by only 7.5%. and, again, i would argue an awful lot of that has to do with regulations but an awful lot of that has to do with the fact we have increased our debt to unsustainable levels. it is scaring consumers, scaring business people away from investing their capital and growing their businesses. as republicans, as conservatives, we want every american to pay their fair share. we actually want a balanced approach to deficit and debt reduction. we want more revenue flowing to the federal government. but we want to increase revenue the old fashioned way, by growing our economy. just a couple quick little facts. even with the meager economic growth that we've experienced from 2009 to 2012, revenue has increased to the federal government by a total of $344 billion per year. if we just return to a normal economy like we had in 2007 when revenue to the federal government was 18.5% of our economy pretty close to the 50-year average, that would
